The people of that city are to be
congratulated on getting live, en-
terprising citizen and genial. pleas
ant, accommodating gentleman with
whom to do business. Our citizens
greatly regret the necessity which
compels them to separate from the
Col-his uprightness Of personal
manhood having won him hosts of
friends and admirers here. He has
The warmest wishes of the Reporter
Tor his future success and happiness.
The lecture, by Capt. Seeley,
,it the Congregational Church Tues
day evening, was listened 80 BY q
large audience and is everywhere
spoken Of in terms of the highest
praise. The Captains description
OF the battle of Gettysburg was very
fine and his glimpse of prison life
had many features of the pathetic
aud the numerous that made this
part of the lecture irresistably fas-
clnating to his hearers. The Capt.
is fine speaker and interests, in
structs and pleases his audience
from the very first sentence to its
close. To say that our people were
highly pleased don't hardly fill the
bill--they were delighted.
The people of this country will
sea that the family Of Gen. Logan is
we'll provided for. A large sum has
already been raised, ana still the
subscriptions come pouring in. Gen.
Logan died poor. During his long
public career no stain of any kind
ha, smirched his hands. He died
cleAn-handed, without a blemish
upon his character. He served his
country faithfully, and by his aid in
preserving the Union men who are
to-day worth their millions were
enabled to pile up fortunes, and they
arc dong nothing more than paying
q debt they owe, in thus providing
for the comforts Of the dead hero's
family.
--What does the bachelor club do
tha,e days. Has it claimed melan-
choly for its own aud only smiles at
praise Of its own loyliness. Are the

Grossly winking at Johnatnan the

Can such things be and yet not.
Move the soul to anguish
Or wake the heart to tears?
Alas, shall the little cane wave no
morts nor the hugag ever again call
the whim-wam and go one better:
Death loves a shining mark-has

THE board OF Commissioners
are SERIOUSLY considering the FEAST
bility of erecting county Jail. They
have the money to do il and believe,
rightly too, that it would be an
ECONOMICAL move. Already has the
county paid out to other counties
for KEEPING prisoners, almost, If not
quite enough to build good Jail.
Over $500. has been paid out dur
ing the past year and as we grow
older the chances are this burden
viii Increase rather than diminish.
The time has come when as mat
ter Of economy and selfprotection .
building should be constructed for
the safe keeping of our prisoners aad
we believe the wisest thing that can
be done viii be to build it. 1t will
certainly prove . saving to the tax
payers Of the county. Since the
county was organized there has been
paid oiit something over 81, 800 for
che safe keeping OF prisoners. In
the start, $500 added to this sum
would have given ms good Jail and
saved q great deal in travelling ex-
pensas for Sheriff and prisoners.
Now ire have murderer in the
Columbia Jail and before his trial is
had it 'Fill cost the county four or
five hundred dollars to keep him,
unless We can devise some means
for his safe keeping here. Yes, so
long as we have the cash to build a
jail, We are OF the opinion that ths
commissioners win do q wise and
economical thing to put one up.
